Configure

update: both autotools and CMake build systems are available. The following steps apply to autotools.

(If you didn't download the source tree directly, skip this step.) If you are building GEOS from source, you need to have ​Autotools available in your system. You will generate the ./configure script with:

$ ./autogen.sh

Now, run configuration script:

$ ./configure

For more details about configuration options run:

$ ./configure --help

$ make check

$ make install

You may need to use sudo to get this to run.

$ make uninstall
